How We Do Thilg&

yisitors who had business on the
upper floors of our building during the
past four days were informed by the
1ourwalker that the elevator was not
running and were politely requested to
take the stairs. The cause of this was
that our machinery and boilers were
being Inspected and overhauied thor
ongbly by our own engineer aud the
government inspector. All machinery
and boilers used for carrying purposes
must, according to law, be Inspected
and examined once year. Thus our
patrons were for four days deprived Of
nil the conveniences our perfect system
affords them. Now all Is right again.
The buinmiDg wheels of our nngniH-
cent machinery give forth their glad
music. The tinkis of the electric bells
summonips the elevator from floor TO
floor is heard again. The elevator
glidcs noiselessly and constantly up
and down carrying its passengers from
one department to another. The cleo
trio lights illuminate every floor at
and the nickle- plated boxes of our won
derful cash system clink merrily as
they fly along the cables, each bearing
ITS freight OF treasure to the cashiers
elevated perch on the frat floor. or re-
turning with the change and stamped
receipt to the spot from whence IL was
sped on Its journey by the salesman.
The system covers every floor in our
house, and rs all roads In former timca
led to Rome so do all our cable roads
lead to the cashiers desk hero. 1ho
little cash boxes ascend and descend
from floor to floor with equal ease,
| seeming to defy the laws of gravity
(the system Is run by steam), aud the
| most wonderful part of the whole thing
| Is that while these little boxes are all
| alike in size and shape, they MUST BIZ
so to flt the cable road and round the
curves and corners, each box FINDS
ITS OWN STATION after being re-
| lieved OF its contents by the cashier,
passing all others en- route, but never
| falling to release Its hold OF the cable
| when IL reaches its own. This Is rsgu-
lated by the DISTANCE from the upper
left band corner OF the box of small
pin placed on each, the distance vary
Ing from one inch to the thirty second
part thereof.
Tho great machinery necessary to run
all these conveniences cannot possibly y
be overhauled in n day, aud so our
patrons were for four days deprived OF
their uses, but now all Is in running
order again and shopping is made easy
here.
Made profitable to patrons. too, by the
unusual bargains to be now found or
our counters. This week will close
most of them out.

Pay Your Dog Tax /

The point made by Mayor Werts last
evening concerning the paymentof dog tax
seems to be well taken. He claims that
whether or not the tax is legal, is guess
ton now too late for discussion. The tax,
payers remedy was before CouneiK when
it sat as Commission Of Appeals. Of
which due notice was given, and not after
the Assessors duplicate was accepted and
in the hands Of the Collector. tt is the
Collectors duty to collect the taxes on the
book as given to him by the Commission
of Appeals, and if there be any wrong OF
illegal assessment The same should have
been brought before the Commission and
there adjusted Not having been brought
before that Board, was legal evidence that
there was no grievance to complain OF

Murder in Sussex County.

Dennis J. Morris, an aged farmer re-
siding near Brancnvllle, Sussex county,
was found insensible and nearly dead
last Sunday morning, under circumstan-
ces strongly indicating murder at the
hands of Robert S. Westbrook, middle
aged man and owner of the farm ad-
joining that Of Morris. The deceased
was 81 years old, childish and passionate.
Westbrook is about 40 years of age and
high tempered; and the two men had
been bad neighbors and quarrelsome
with each other for years. 1t appears
that Morris after breakfast went up in a
field to feed pumpkins to his COWS, and
was found later lying unconscious on a
stone fence near chestnut tree which
was on the line between the two farmers,
The neighborhood was notified of the
tragedy by Westbrook himself, who tells
the story that he was hunting chestnuts
under the tree on his side of the fence,
when Morris appeared at the fence and
ordered him to leave the chestnuts alone,
as they belonged to him, the tree stand
ing on his (MorrisD side of the fence.
Westbrook claimed that all on his side of
the fence belonged to him (Westbroo X
and hot words ensued. Morris had a
long pole in his hand and dared West
brook to come to the fence. Westbrook
moved towards his aged antagonist, and
when within a few feet of the fence, Nor
ris hit him on the sholder with the long
pole, and then fell back on the fence his
head striking a stone and causing the
injury from which he died. This story
OF Westbrook is not credited, because a
severe blow on the forehead had fractur-
ed the skull, and the physicians at the
post norton testified that that wound
probably caused death, although there.
was also a fracture on the back of the
head where it had struck when the VIC
tim fell. The wound on the forehead is
supposed to have been caused by blow
from stone thrown by Westbrook! as
the stone was afterwards found, as also a
fresh mould In the sod into which the
stone fitted exactly, and from which it
is supposed Westbrook picked it up to
throw at Morris. An inquest was held
on Monday, and the jury rendered a
verdict that deceased came to his death
sat the hands of Robert s. Westbrook.
Westbrook is now in Newton Jail. He
is of good family and prominent mem

Thief. Forger and swindler.

Last Tuesday morning Chas. II. Will
let's. aged % years, went into David Ross
restaurant on Morris street and called for q
lunch. In preparing the order it became
necessary for Mr.. Ross to leave the room
for few moments, during which time
WiIletts improved the opportunity 10 ran
sack the store and finding dawes" gold
watch and chain put 1T in his pocket.
Shortly after leaving the restaurant Mr..
Ross missed his watch and at once sus-
pected his late customer and informed
Marshal Holloway of his loss and describ-
ed the man. In little while the Mar
shall ran across his man and after telling
him of the loss of the watch and of Mr..
Ross suspicious that he was the thief, he
stoutly protested his innocence and seemed
willing to accompany the Marshal to the
restaurant. They had only gone a short
distance, however. before Willetts weaken
ed and admitted the theft, at the same
time producing the stolen property, re-
questing the Marshal to return them to
the owner. But of course his request was
not complied with and he was taken be-
fore Squire Cliff who committed him for
trial.
While in the 'Squire's office. awaiting
the preparation of the commitment papers,
Willetts turned to Marshal Holloway and
asked him if he would have to go up"
Upon being informed that he had very
brilliant prospect in that direction, he took
from his pockets some letters and began
tearing them into shreds, at the same time
telling the Marshal that he was destroying
some love letters. After he was com
mitted to Jail the Marshal returned and
gathering up the fragments fitted them to-
gether and pasted them on a sheet of
paper. One of the letters proved to be al
petition asking for money for man who
claimed to be sick and disabled. &C.. who
was in direful need The petition was
dated Morris Plains, Oct. 4th, and pur-
ported to be signed in various amounts by
Andrew Reasoner. Aurelius B. Hull, DR..
VIM. Taylor, W. Clark, E. F. Beach,
Jacob Wise and others. The paper alsoI
contained a number of cash contributions.
Inquiry was subsequently made of some
of the purported signers and it was found
that their names had been forged, but it
was slso found that the scamp had col
lected considerable money, how much,
however, is not known, and probably
never will be until ii becomes known how
many names ON the paper were forged.
WiIletts is an old offender and is we'll
known to the police. He has already
served two terms in the State prison, and1
now has every prospect Of having an OPP
portunity to serve the third. d
